Regards Scotland, both England and Ireland do have something in common here. Both have been invaded by Scotland and whereas Ireland gave them a "naughty word", nay not a "naughty word" but a very "naughty word" for their trouble, England had a very lucky escape. An uncomfortable truth for those who like to hate all things GB.
Opel are Vauxhall aren't they ??
